The AKG-44s have been exactly what I'm after. The speaker bits are surrounded by a soft leathery cushion - no rough edges, comfortable, and I feel like I could wear them for days without getting sore. The headphones clamp together lightly, and the self-adjusting headband is unnoticeable.

Advantages: Comfortable, long lead, self-adjusting head band. NOT Earphones. Disadvantages: Not sound-proof - can sometimes hear sound around you.

I've been told by an actual audiophile, that AKG is an OK make, so I have some confidence that I made a good purchase.

Opinion:
I hate earphones. I hate the way you have to wedge them into your ear, you're constantly worried whether they'll fall out, and they're about as comfortable as sticking gravel in your ear.
I wanted a cheap pair of *head*phones, that were comfortable, stereo, and if possible from a good manufacturer.

The sound quality is great! But I'm not an audiophile ("one who loves sound"). But when I play an MP3, the music sounds exactly as I remember it, with all the tone and bass bits.
The only downside is that you can hear other sounds in the room through the earphones. I sometimes use these at work, and you can still hear a bit of the general cacophony. But then in my book, that's an advantage and my manager doesn't need to shout at me to get my attention.

Advantages: Robust, very comfortable, good value Disadvantages: Bass is a bit low, sound isolation is not great
I originally bought these headphones to travel with as they seemed a cheap option in case something happened to them. However, I still use them regularly to this day (after 3 years) because they turned out to be much better than I expected. The sound quality is good enough, with fairly clear treble and mids, and sufficient bass, though nowhere near as much bass as many other headphones, even those at the same price. They are very comfortable to wear, ... ...to your ears like the Sennheiser HD25 headphones but what is lost in sound isolation is more than made up for by the comfort. They are also robust, and lightweight. Despite having carried them to all sorts of places, they are almost like new, and the cable still functions perfectly despite being dragged through mud and bent around. One drawback to some, may be that they don't look very 'cool'. If this is a consideration for you then it might be worth ...
